Not sure about all the questions but I know a bobbed hammer on the P2000 comes with the LEM trigger. I've never seen a way to make the grip longer on a compact but I'm not sure.

I'm under the impression the improvements of the P2000 over the USPc are mostly cosmetic, with better ergonomics. Some consider the USPc more robust. Safety vs no safety. Standard rail v. proprietary. Some differences might be a big deal to some but they are all subjective. In all the reviews and comments on this site it always boils down to get your hands on both and pick the one that feels best to you.

 

Hmm, yeah. But I am not in a position to get my hands on both. Nobody has them in stores anywhere that is within half a days travel from here or less.

But after reading the other thread about the P2000 from 2004 being equipped with a microchip, I am veeeery unsure about the whole P2000 thing...

Seems to me like the chip being ACTIVATED is the only thing optional about it, but I bet it still can be tracked if big brother decides to just start tracking anyway. Someone almost pushed a microchipped jacket on me last year too, for "avalanche safety". I was like "Did you just say TRANSPONDER?"


Always under the radar...

 

Don't know, but FYI, CDNN is having a USPc in .357 Sig, new, with 3 10-round mags, for $599.
Btw, I'm not affiliated with them in any way, except being a customer.

 

.357 Sig

+1 I saw that in my new catalouge great price for NIB USPc V1 just my 2 cents.I'm thinking of buying one just to have, for that price. :300000000: Also just so you know USPc needs adapter for lights or lasers the P2000 is a standered picatanny rail.

 

Have you shot a .357 Sig yet in a compact? Quite a kick to it.

 

Nope, haven't, but it doesn't come in any other size-range in any gun, and if anyone can shoot it, it's me.

Besides the P2000 isn't really a compact, it's a small fullsize (in my book...)

P2000 is considered a compact. It is basically the same size as a G19 which is considered a compact.

Now the P2000sk and G26 would be considered sub-compacts.

 

Hey faris13, do you have any side-by-side pictures of the P2000 and the USP Compact? Maybe I could see which one is biggest in the grip.

 

By the way, does the P2000 have the decocking switch on the top of the slide way at the back, like the P30?

 

Yes the V3 P2000 and P30 both have the same rear mounted decocker (the best on any gun IMO).

Go to your local gunshop/show and check out the USPc and P2000. If they don't have the .357sig instock the 9mm and .40 are the same size.

 

Thanks guys

 

I've ordered 2 USP C in 357 Sig over the last couple months from CDNN, love em both..... The kick isn't too bad, it is a nasty round, but it is fun. Make sure and buy your target ammo from ammoman.com, cheapest around for the .357 Sig speer lawman.

Order one before they are gone.

 

The P2000 is safe to carry with a round in the chamber and hammer decocked, right?

Also, can I buy a bobbed hammer and have it fitted to the P2000 DA+SA version? (is it a special hammer for the P2000 or can I use a USP fullsize 9/40 hammer that I have laying around here?)

 

My vote would be the P2000. Last time I was at my LGS. I held the P2000 in 357Sig. I liked the way it felt in my hand. That's on my list of HKs to buy. Unless the P30 does 357Sig.

 

Can I take away the ambidextrous slide release lever on the P2000? I just want it on the left side since I am right-handed.

 

The gun will function fine if you want to remove the right side release lever. It might look a little funny but thats about it.

 

Ok, I just have one more question about the P2000

Does its rail accept the Insight M2 UTL?

 

Here are some comparison pics. The P2000 has the large backstrap on. I agree the P2000 is more comfortable and I can get a higher grip on it because its more contoured, however there is just something about the compact I like more. I think I prefer cocked and locked too. And I ride the slide release on the P2000, that doesn't happen on the compact. If .357 is what you want I would jump on that offer from CDNN, but that's just me.

 

Just got of the phone with Ken at HK. He does not have a time frame for when the P30 in .40 will be coming. As of now the P30 in 357 Sig looks like a no go. Worldwide sales for this round is not that big. As others here have mentioned. At least I can buy the P2000 in 357 Sig. :830:
